Re: MB Docket No. 05-317
Dear Mr. Davidson:
By letter dated October 10, 2008, Hoak Media of Wichita Falls Licensee, LLC (“Hoak”), licensee 
of KAUZ-TV, Wichita Falls, Texas requested an extension of its waiver of Section 339(a)(2)(D) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to prohibit satellite subscribers from receiving or conducting a 
digital signal strength test of KAUZ-DT’s digital signal.1 The Commission granted the original digital 
signal testing waiver based on the fact that the station’s digital signal coverage was limited due to the 
necessity to use a side mounted antenna.2 The Commission has granted the licensee two six-month 
extensions.3 In its most recent extension request, the licensee states it continues to experience reduction 
of coverage due to its use of a side mounted antenna and that it is prevented from installing a top mounted 
digital antenna because its analog antenna is currently installed in that position and will continue to 
operate there until February 17, 2009 when the digital transition takes place.  
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Hoak’s request IS GRANTED and the first permissible date 
for digital testing for KAUZ-DT IS EXTENDED until February 18, 2009.  No further extensions of this 
waiver should be necessary.
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Kreisman
Chief, Video Division
